We did do the belly in carbon fiber this year; one of our big goals was to teach the kids to do layup, and it's gone really well. We've also experimented with other parts, like gussets. Another big goal was to get the comp bot powder coated, and I'm pleased to say it will get back to us from our new sponsor Blue Flame on Wednesday.

May as well post the rest of the pictures now too. The first is our stack of sliders; the second is the full bot as she stood yesterday.
Correct me if I am wrong. Looks like bot will lift totes one at the time, hold them separately in the air and stack them all at once when putting them down?
